This comprehensive textbook introduces readers to the three-tiered, Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture by using Hibernate, JSPs, and Java Servlets. These three technologies all use Java, so that a student with a background in programming will be able to master them with ease, with the end result of being able to create web applications that use MVC, validate user input and save data to a database. Features: presents the many topics of web development in small steps, in an accessible, easy-to-follow style; uses powerful technologies that are freely available on the web to speed up web development, such as JSP, JavaBeans, annotations, JSTL, Java 1.5, Hibernate and Tomcat; discusses HTML, HTML Forms, Cascading Style Sheets and XML; introduces core technologies from the outset, such as the MVC architecture; contains questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, detailed illustrations, chapter summaries, and a glossary; includes examples for accessing common web services.

I have been teaching web development for ten years. I started with Perl. I can still remember the behemoth programs that contained all the logic and HTML. I remember using a text editor to write the program. Debugging consisted of a lot of print statements. It was a fun time, full of exploration, but I do not miss them. Five years ago, I made the move to Java and Java servlets. Life became much simpler with the use of NetBeans. It has been a critical component in developing Web applications using Java. Debugging a web application in NetBeans is just as easy as debugging any Java application. This book is meant for students who have a solid background in programming, but who do not have any database training. Until two years ago, my students used a glori? ed HashMap to save data. Then a former student gave me the word: Hibernate. For anyone with a p- gramming background in Java, using Hibernate to save data to a re- tional database is a simple task. I have always been a proponent of automating the common tasks that Web applications perform. There are many packages that can s- plify the job of a Web developer: Log4j, BeanUtils and Hibernate. I have created additional classes that can automate additional tasks.

This comprehensive Guide to Web Development with Java introduces the readers to the three-tiered, Model-View-Controller architecture by using Spring JPA, JSPs, and Spring MVC controllers. These three technologies use Java, so that a student with a background in programming will be able to master them with ease, with the end result of being able to create web applications that use MVC, validate user input,and save data to a database.Topics and features:• Presents web development topics in an accessible, easy-to-follow style, focusing on core information first, and allowing the reader to gain basic understanding before moving forwards• Contains many helpful pedagogical tools for students and lecturers, such as questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, detailed illustrations, chapter summaries, and a glossary• Uses existing powerful technologies that are freely available on the web to speedup web development, such as Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring JPA, Hibernate, JSP, JSTL, and Java 1.8• Discusses HTML, HTML forms, and Cascading Style Sheets• Starts with the simplest technology for web development (JSP) and gradually introduces the reader to more complex topics• Introduces core technologies from the outset, such as the Model-View-Controller architecture• Includes examples for accessing common web services• Provides supplementary examples and tutorials
